È uno scherzo? O è tanto assurdo per sembrare vero?
Socket è un "mockumentary", o sarebbe meglio dire un "sockumentary" ...Racconta di uno sport in qualche modo estremo, e lo fa citando a piene mani l'estetica dei film di cassetta americani, da Karate Kid a Rocky. Girato con una semplicissima MiniDV, oltre alle risate, lascia il dubbio che tutto quello che si è visto non sia poi così finto come vuole sembrare.
Is it a joke? Or is it so crazy it might be true?
Socket is a "mockumentary", or rather a "sockumentary" ...It portrays a somehow extreme sport, liberally referring to American blockbusters, from Karate Kid to Rocky. Shot using a simple MiniDV camera, it will make filmgoers laugh, but also doubt whether what they have seen is as fake as it is supposed to be.
